Beth Bliss's new song written in response to the words of @jocelynnicolejohnson -- Bushwick Book Club show next week Tues., 10/25/22 celebrating MY MONTICELLO.

"Why you want us to always turn the same way and stay silent, we told her. Why you think we want your lame stickers anyway? But we did want those stickers. Even after she’d tucked them away." (p. 37, from short story, Something Sweet On Our Tongues by Jocelyn Nicole Johnson) 
Beth Bliss shares this quote from "Something Sweet On Our Tongues" -- a short story in the collection, MY MONTICELLO. 

Bliss says on reading this story,  "I felt teleported to elementary NYC public school."

Beth Bliss Ft XIKANI - Sweet Tooth (Prod By Dj Flex Montana)

I wrote this a year ago.. and made a little visual for this piece. It is about getting over a toxic ass relationship.

Losing Sleep

Beth Bliss is a Brooklyn native, performing artist, organizer, and writer. 

 
"My music is how I cope with my environment, which I understand is a mutual tradition of humanity. As a child, my participation and journey within the multiple art forms of expression sparked my exploration of different genres such as Spirituals, and poetry, have deeply influenced my method of composition. Most of my songs start off as poems or meditations. My 2020 EP release, titled, Rain is a manifestation of what it is like to be not only an afro-indigenous womxn and young adult, but an impressionable human-being trying to sing their way through life's storm. I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with brilliant artists and activists. I am humbled to be apart of the creative culture and resistance our ancestors' conceived."
